I ran out to the dealer to finish up but the sales manager would only give me $2200 for my pristine 2009 Buell 1125CR. Kelly blue Book says $3800 wholesale $5500 retail. The guy wouldn't even talk about it. So I walked away. Oh well.

That is ridiculous! But I think I get what they are doing.

Mrs. High_Side also expressed interest in getting the new Scout as a bike "that we can both ride" :mrgreen: When I went to the dealer they told me that the first 15 were already sold. Overall they are selling approximately 3 times the amount of Indians that Polaris initially expected them to sell. If this is the case for all dealers they are probably only looking to take a trade if they can make significant money. They sell so quickly that they really don't feel that they have to do anthing extra to get the sale.

And to agree with HYPERR, the 1125 CR is one of the coolest bikes out there. It would be a shame to see you let it go.
